The Baptism of Jesus Year C
Luke 3:15-17, 21-23 in the Christian Bible’s Gospel of Luke contains several themes related to social justice, including:
- Baptism as a communal experienceJesus’ baptism in Luke 3:15-17 is a communal event, not a private one, which serves as a reminder that baptism makes people part of a new social world.
- God’s approval of JesusIn Luke 3:21-22, God’s voice from heaven identifies Jesus as God’s son, and the Holy Spirit descends in the form of a dove, a symbol of peace and freedom from judgment.
- Justice as a quality of lifeIn the first century, the words from heaven in Luke 3:15-17 refer to justice as a quality of life, similar to that of a realm with covenantal support for all.
- Jesus’ concern for the marginalizedLuke’s Gospel emphasizes Jesus’ concern for women, tax collectors, sinners, and those on the fringes of society.
- Jesus’ teaching on loveJesus taught that people should love their enemies and pray for those who persecute them, and that love is action, which means doing good for others and giving them justice.
